Antek is a high-end chassis power supply manufacturer in the United States, and has been the long-term sales champion in the DIY personal computer market in North America, Japan and parts of Europe. With the slogan of "rejecting false standards", Antik launched its popularity, brought a clear stream to the domestic market full of false information at that time, improved the market atmosphere, and won a good reputation in the hearts of consumers.
Like Corsair, most of Antek's products rely on the existing solutions of the foundry to improve or fine-tune, and the entry-level products use Taiwanese capacitors, while the mid-to-high-end products are Japanese. At present, the product line of Antek is divided into HCP, EDGE, HCG, NEO, VP, BP series from high to low.
The HCP series is the flagship product. The platinum level has two power options of 1000W and 1300W, provided by Antek and Delta, these two power supplies are very suitable for high-end gamers in terms of workmanship and performance, with strong output and high conversion efficiency, and the interface design of the full module can definitely meet the appetite of DIY players, and the JonnyGRU scores are above 9.5. The models below 1000W are manufactured by Haiyun, using the design scheme of Haiyun P series, which is comparable in terms of performance, but in terms of conversion efficiency, Haiyun P series has more advantages and has reached the titanium level.
The mid-to-high-end EDGE series has three models: 550W, 650W and 750W, fully modular cables, 80Plus gold certification, and a warranty period of 5 years. This series is similar to the upgraded version of the Haiyun G series, with improvements in voltage offset and ripple control, and the highlight is that it is equipped with a large-diameter white light cooling fan, which has a cool visual effect at night.
Neo ECO and HCG are both revised and produced by Haiyun's original models, with a wattage of 400W-850W, which can meet the needs of most consumers. Neo ECO is divided into two versions, the new version with the suffix -M, made by Qiaowei, the conversion efficiency is upgraded to a bronze medal, and the semi-modular output and Japanese capacitors are used, and the overall cost performance is high. HCG series adopts the original M12II structure of Haiyun, with higher positioning, the conversion efficiency is divided into bronze and gold medals, the design scheme of the whole module, the warranty has reached 10 years, and the price of more than 600 yuan is slightly higher than that of Haiyun M series.
The VP and BP series are positioned as entry-level, and these two series have been using non-modular designs and Taiwan capacitors, and have been OEM by Delta, and have become one of the preferred power supplies for the majority of beginner gamers to build PCs with their solid materials and affordable prices. However, in some new batches recently, some consumers have reported that the material used for the power supply has shrunk, the VP350P foundry has been changed from Delta to HKC, the PFC type has changed to passive, and the BP350PS PRO's 12V output has also decreased. If consumers buy these two series, they need to see the difference between the old and new versions.
